Version: FastStone Image Viewer 2.9
"Way better than Windows Picture & Fax Viewer."
Pros: Although I have a semi professional, highly rated photo editing program, I seldom use it anymore, partly because my computer is a 7 year old XP converted from ME, runs at 1.8 with 256mb ram & it constantly freezes my computer, but mostly, FastStone is quicker & easier to use & does basically everything I want. This program is probably my favorite out of a few others I've tried & works just fine for 99.99% of all my photos & rarely slows my computer.
Really like the full screen mode when double clicking on a picture. From there, you can do a lot of editing as well as get a full description of your photo, exposer, shutter speed, everything, easily accessible. Double click again to return to main screen. Modifying a photo for emailing is a little cumbersome but very handy. Nice slide show feature as well allowing you to show the file name, camera, model, date & time the picture was taken with a font, color & size of your choice. Also has 156 transitional effects, kewl man. Has a screen shot tool, also easier than Windows. Currently, FastStone is set to open all my pictures & does it well.
Cons: No actual screen saver, only a slide show. Slide show shows only pictures in a specific folder, not all folders.
